How does one mark all messages as read (imap4flag "seen") with sieve?

[Bill Shirley]

I don't use the Anti-Spam plugin; I just fire off a BASH script every four hours with
crontab which iterates thru the vmail email accounts and trains Spamassassin 'per-user'
accounts.  If the script sounds interesting I can post it here.  It probably could use a little polish
though.
